Congrats to Delpo. I was pretty sure Delpo was going to take this one after all those losses to Fed this year, especially the OG match, it was just a matter of time. I was surprised that it even went to a 3rd set TB, I had almost expected a straight sets win for Delpo.

This year is very much like the post Wimby 2009 season for Fed, he won squat after Cincy for the rest of the year. He has played a lot and also must be relieved and finding it hard to stay sharp after attaining his goals for the year, quite like in 2009. I think he may make the semifinals of WTF this year but not make the finals.

Did anyone think that had the match not have a final set TB, it would have gone to something like that Olympics as well? Fed was definitely holding service games comfortably, getting into Delpo service games but never manages to break on BP. It was the same situation in OG.

Yes, and Fed was getting slowly better, Delp the other way -- Rog ran out of time. A five setter would have gone to Federer, I think.
